Spinner Report post Posted May 13, 2014 Very clean, I like that the floral is more of an art deco style than traditional Sheridan. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MattTheHat Report post Posted May 14, 2014 Very nice. One of the reasons I got into leatherwork is to make a nice leather case for my Pedersoli clone of the Colt Lightning pump-action rifle. So leather rifle cases and scabbards really interest me. This one is very, very nice! -Matt Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JLSleather Report post Posted May 15, 2014 +1 on the carving design ... bold but simple ... ornate but clean.. nice. That's a LOT of backgrounding - got one arm bigger than the other ? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Brushpopper Report post Posted May 17, 2014 You're right, JLS. Most leather workers are bright enough to keep backgrounding to a minimum. Skeet Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dwight Report post Posted November 13, 2014 The three scabbards I've made... Brushpopper, . . . I don't use a scabbard like this, . . . so I have to ask the question: how do you secure the scabbard to the very left if you want to use it with your horse? The other two I figured out as there are loops for leather straps. But the one on the left is plain, . . . just need some guidance. And before I forget, . . . yes, . . . they are beautiful. The tooling patterns are definitely unique. Thanks, may God bless, Dwight Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Brushpopper Report post Posted November 13, 2014 (edited) Thanks, pards. Dwight - there are occasional examples from the period of scabbards that have sling retainers only on the back. The aim is to not interfere with the tooling. For an example, have a look at page 91 of Cowboys and The Trappings of the Old West.

I thought maybe that may be the deal, . . . but sometimes the obvious is not the right answer. When I made Tony's earlier this year, . . . I messed up the first one (punched a hole in the wrong place), . . . so I have a piece of leather hanging and waiting for me to decide to make mine, . . . and I just may do some tooling on it, . . . but it surely won't be as intricate as yours. Maybe a rose up at the top,.............. May God bless, Dwight Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
